Chapter 584 The Dabai Fleet is on a mission to North Korea!

Chen Lingfei was blocked on Jianghua Island.

Note that it is obstruction, not detention, not house arrest, nor imprisonment. For Koreans, Ganghwa Island is a resort and a symbol of royal power. Only royal people are qualified to climb Ganghwa Island. It is also a courtesy to be trapped in Ganghwa Island.

To be precise, the North Koreans did not want to directly detain Chen Lingfei's fleet, but they had to act like this under the pressure of the Tartars. However, if there was no interference from external factors, the North Koreans could not withstand the pressure and had to truly detain Chen Lingfei.

"This guy from North Korea is pretty good."

"They must be given some substantial support."

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhun made a quick decision.

When Zhang Zhun received the information, he subconsciously felt that there must be a deeper reason behind Chen Lingfei's obstruction to return to China. In fact, there are many Ming merchants who come and go to North Korea. Why is only Chen Lingfei obstructed? This is probably not just the reason for the Tartars. Some people in North Korea hope to make a big fuss about this matter, which is the main reason.

North Korea prevented Chen Lingfei from returning successfully, but there was something tricky inside - the North Koreans wanted to get help from Ming. Due to the pressure from the Tartars, North Korea has always wanted to get substantive support from Ming, but Ming has never been able to provide substantive and decisive support. This obviously disappointed the North Koreans. Therefore, they had to turn their attention to help on Zhang Zhun.

The Koreans should know the news of Zhang Zhun's rise in Shandong. The Hu Ben Army defeated the Tartars in Huang County and surrounded the two Bells of the Tartars in Dengzhou City. I believe the Koreans also know it. Chen Lingfei represented Zhang Zhun to do trade business in North Korea, and I believe the Koreans also knew it. In the desperate situation, the Koreans connected Zhang Zhun through Chen Lingfei, with their purpose of self-evident.

It is quite difficult to give North Korea some support. This support must be in force. With the current capabilities of the Hu Ben Army, if it enters North Korea, it will open up a new battlefield. For the current Hu Ben Army, there is still considerable pressure. Huang Taiji will soon go south, and the Hu Ben Army must concentrate its main force to fight the Tartars going south. However, if there is pressure, it must face the above. Zhang Zhun must not watch North Korea fall into the hands of the Tartars with a blank look.

What is the most lacking of the Tatars? The first is population, the second is food, and the third is the navy. North Korea has these three things. If the Tatars are allowed to completely control North Korea and force North Korea to provide manpower, food and navy to the Tatars, the Tatars' strength will be greatly enhanced. Therefore, no matter from any perspective, North Korea cannot be completely converted to the Tatars.

"The Great White Fleet is ready to go to North Korea!"

"Five days later, all the warships were concentrated in Weihaiwei Port."

"Collection of all the relevant information from North Korea, and everyone should hurry up and get familiar with it."

Zhang Zhun said quickly to the senior naval executives around him.

"clear!"

Yang Guohua and others hurriedly answered.

"Be sure to keep it confidential!"

Zhang Zhun said cautiously.

"clear!"

Yang Guohua and others naturally understood the necessity of confidentiality, so Zhang Zhun did not need to continue to emphasize. Soon, officers at all levels of the navy learned that the Dabai Fleet was going to North Korea. For a moment, everyone was full of fighting spirit and spirit. Isn’t the Dabai Fleet appearing at this time? Going to North Korea to promote the prestige of the country!

The next day, Zhang Zhun immediately returned to the Grand Governor's Office from the Queqiaowan Military Port and generally deployed a plan to send a mission to North Korea. Because Ye Longxin and Gong Bing were both in Hejian Prefecture, there were only Yang Qiufeng and a few young and unmature staff members here, so it was a bit difficult to formulate such a huge plan. After all, North Korea is not Jiangnan. The Hu Ben Army is not very familiar with the situation there, and many situations need to be dealt with on-the-spot.

Moreover, from a political perspective, North Korea is another country. Even if it is a vassal state, it is a relatively independent country. Some necessary procedures are necessary to follow. This is why it is called envoyment, rather than entering North Korea, attacking North Korea, and invading North Korea. Zhang Zhun was the chief governor of the Ming Dynasty's rear army, and of course he arrived in North Korea as a Ming official, which is called envoy.

In other words, Zhang Zhun led his army to North Korea not just for a simple battle, but also involved complex diplomatic issues. Zhang Zhun basically didn't understand the diplomatic situation, especially when he was going to North Korea as an official in Ming Dynasty. He was really a little uncomfortable. It just so happened that Gao Hongtu was dealing with government affairs at the Ministry of Government, so Zhang Zhun immediately came to Gao Hongtu for help.

"Yulin, this matter is not small. The purpose of the Koreans to block Shen Lingfei's successful return is to drag you into the water. Once you go to North Korea, you may be held back by the North Koreans. The Koreans want to hold you against the Tartars. You must consider this clearly." Gao Hongtu said with a frown.

He was also an old fox, so he could see the trick at first sight. As long as Zhang Zhun arrived in North Korea, Shen Lingfei would definitely be able to return smoothly. There is no doubt that the real purpose of the North Koreans is to establish contact with Zhang Zhun. As long as this goal is achieved, they will not make things difficult for Shen Lingfei. In other words, as long as Zhang Zhun stepped onto the ground of North Korea, it would be a bit difficult to escape.

To be precise, the North Koreans wanted to establish an alliance with Zhang Zhun and then use Zhang Zhun's power to fight against the Tartars. I believe that the information that the Hu Ben Army defeated the Tartars continuously was also known. After all, more than four months have passed since the Huangxian War, the North Koreans should have understood all aspects clearly and made the decision to win over Zhang Zhun.

"I have to go! I am willing to establish this alliance with the North Koreans." Zhang Zhun said decisively.

Of course he knew very well that the Koreans were drunk and that the purpose of obstructing Shen Lingfei from returning successfully was to ask him Zhang Zhun to arrive in North Korea. Once he arrived in North Korea, the Koreans would definitely use various methods to hold him back and then find ways to get substantial assistance from him. If he did not agree to the request of the Korean coalition to fight against the Tartars, he would not be able to escape unless he used force. However, isn’t Zhang Zhun also needed to fight against the Tartars together?

"Don't be anxious! I think the issue of entering North Korea should be considered comprehensively. The situation within North Korea is still relatively complicated. The problem of North Korea cannot be solved simply by force. Even if you establish an alliance with the North Koreans, there are still many problems to be solved." Gao Hongtu said cautiously.

"I understand, take it slowly." Zhang Zhun nodded and said.

"As these days, I have learned about some of the situation in North Korea from my former colleagues. If you have time, I will tell you." Gao Hongtu saw that Zhang Zhun was determined to go to North Korea, so he did not continue to dissuade him and said, changing the topic.

"Okay!" Zhang Zhun nodded cheerfully.

Gao Hongtu slowly explained it.

The situation in North Korea is relatively complex and fragile.

North Korea has always been a loyal vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. This was formed since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, North Korea was still called Goryeo. Because the Goryeo regime was ruled by the Mongols for a long time, its king had been completely Mongolianized, but the Mongols followed the Mongols. However, its people and patriotic ministers still yearned for China's advanced civilization. After Mongolia was driven away by the Chinese, King Goryeo still followed the Mongols, which aroused the anger of the vast majority of Goryeo people and patriotic ministers.

It just so happened that the King of Goryeo sent General Li Chenggui to lead his army to the Ming Dynasty. Under the support of the people and patriotic ministers, Li Chenggui launched a mutiny, overthrew the Goryeo regime, established a new regime, and asked the Emperor of Ming (the emperor could only be Chinese, that is, the then Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang) and requested the name of the new country. Zhu Yuanzhang gave the country the name "Korean". From then on, North Korea was China's "non-suffering country".

During the Wanli period, Japan was basically unified, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi expanded outward and invaded North Korea. North Korea could not resist and asked for help from China. China sent troops to drive away the Japanese invaders and achieved a great victory in "resisting Japan and aiding Korea". The Korean royal family was grateful to China, and the Korean people and the Chinese people also forged a deep fighting friendship.

The culture and trade between the two countries are very frequent. The high-level officials of North Korea basically understand Chinese, use Chinese characters, and interact with Korean nobles and high-ranking officials, and basically do not need to be translated. There are also a large number of Koreans who settled in Beijing, Nanjing and other places. The styles of Korean domestic buildings and various political systems are completely copied from the Ming Dynasty.

In the late years of the Gwanghae-jun Dynasty, the Tartars rose and defeated the Ming army in succession. As a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea also felt the strong pressure from the Tartars. Gwanghae-jun had to adopt a smooth foreign policy, and while surrendering to the Tartars, it also showed goodwill to the Tartars. This attitude was unwilling to the two orthodox classes of North Korea. In addition, some mistakes in governing the country and the struggles between different forces within the palace eventually triggered an internal coup in North Korea.

On March 12, 1623, a palace coup occurred in North Korea. With the assistance of Queen Renmu and the emerging Southern Party, Li Gui, Li Shi, Jin Zidian and others of the Western Party convened the army to meet in the villa of Yeon-jun, invaded the Qingyun Palace, and launched a palace coup. On the morning of March 13, Yeon-jun Li Yu was located in the Bietang of the Qingyun Palace. He was the one of the Li Dynasty Inzu. After Inzu ascended the throne, Li Erzhan, Zheng Renhong, and others of the Dabei Sect, were sentenced to death, and Guanghai Jun and his family were exiled to Qiaotong Island.

With the support of two classes, especially Confucian scholars, Renzu adopted a policy of pro-Ming and dismissing Jin. At that time, the Ming and Jin were confronted. If the Tartars wanted to advance westward to attack Ming, they had to consider the action of North Korea in the east. There were two opinions within the Tartars' court on how to deal with North Korea. The "Records of the Li Dynasty" records that "the third son, Hong Taishi (Huang Taiji), often advised his father to invade our country; his eldest son, Guiyongjie (Daishan), was always attacked by all sides and had a lot of hatred, so it was not the principle of self-protection, and he was very determined to be peaceful, and he must be safe, not love me, but actually love himself."

In order to avoid fighting on both sides, Nurhaci adopted a policy of wooing North Korea and sent envoys to North Korea to submit letters, hoping that North Korea would break away from relations with the Ming Dynasty and form an alliance with the Tartars. However, North Korea was unmoved and still supported the Ming Dynasty and opposed the Tartars. North Korea also gave a lot of information about the Tartars that it obtained to the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the governor of Liaodong of Ming Dynasty, Wang Huazhen, trained guerrilla Mao Wenlong under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, led more than 200 troops to establish overseas bases to restrain the Tartars and contact the Liao people on Pi Island, North Korea, and its power continued to grow. North Korea allowed Mao Wenlong to open up land and farm in the northern part of its country, produce grain, and exempt taxes. Mao Wenlong also allowed Mao Wenlong to purchase food in North Korea at a low price. This was of great help to Mao Wenlong. Otherwise, with several islands in Dongjiang Town and the increasingly dark political situation of the Ming Dynasty, the increasingly drying money and grain would not meet the needs of the military and civilians of Dongjiang Town.

Nurhaci asked North Korea to cut off exchanges with Mao Wenlong, but was sternly rejected by North Korea. During Mao Wenlong's lifetime, the relationship between North Korea and Mao Wenlong was always very close. After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he once said, "The father did not listen to my plan and regretted it when he died... I was just angry with Dongjiang (Pi Island), just because the mountains and valleys were dangerous, and the front and back were buried. Moreover, he was very spy. My movements and words were instantly known, hateful! hateful!"

In order to break the three encirclements of Ming, Mongolia and Xian, Huang Taiji publicly sent envoys to make peace with Liaodong Governor Yuan Chonghuan, and secretly shifted the attack's spearhead from the west to the east, actively preparing to attack North Korea and eliminate Mao Wenlong, and eliminate worries. At the same time, the North Korean side is also stepping up its war preparations due to the increasing threat from the Tartars and the increasing Japanese threats.

In the second year of Renzu, Li Ju ordered the ward commander Li Shu to build the Nanhan Mountain City. Master Biyan was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the construction project and mobilized eight defenders to take turns to serve. Two years later, the fourth year of Renzu, the total length was 9 kilometers, with four generals, four gates, and sixteen secret gates, the Nanhan Mountain City was completed.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Tianqi in the Ming Dynasty (1627 AD, the Dingmao year, the fifth year of Renzu, and the first year of Tiancong of the Tartars), Huang Taiji declared war on North Korea for four charges of "assisting the troops and horses of the Southern Dynasties to invade our country", "hiding Mao Wenlong", "recruiting my escaped people to steal my place", "killing my knights to return to heaven... no one congratulated me" and declared war on North Korea. He ordered Amin, Jiergalang, Yuetuo and others to lead an army to the east to fight. Amin led more than 30,000 cavalry across the Yalu River and conquering Yizhou, and Jiergalang led a large army to attack Tieshan where Mao Wenlong was stationed.

The Tartars had strong troops, and Mao Wenlong had to retreat to Pi Island. Amin believed that Pi Island was across the sea and could not attack without a navy. While Yizhou was easily captured by the Tartars, it showed that North Korea's defense was very weak and enough to win. Therefore, the Tartars turned the offensive target into North Korea. Then, Amin led a large army south, while plundering troops, waiting for North Korea to reconcile.

When Renzu received the news that the Tatar army was heading south and Dingzhou was lost, he was frightened and sent his concubines and daughters to Jianghua Island for refuge. Amin's generals took advantage of the victory and successively captured Anzhou and Pyongyang. When he arrived at Zhonghe, he stopped moving forward and stationed in Anza. At this time, Renzu had also fled to Jianghua Island and ordered his envoys to submit letters to the Tatar camp to seek peace.

After more than a month of negotiations, North Korea, under the military pressure of the Tatars, basically agreed to the Tatars' request to receive tribute, go to the next year to sign up, form an alliance, and make an appointment as a brother country. Only Yongjue's Ming Dynasty disagrees. In the end, Amin gave in and told North Korea that "no need to force it."

On the third day of March, Inzu led his ministers and the representatives of the Tatars, including the eight ministers, to burn books and oaths on Ganghwa Island. Although Amin signed the oath, he was not satisfied with the North Korean oath, so he ordered the Eight Banners soldiers to divide their troops to plunder for three days, making the seaside area of ​​Gyeonggi Province in Korea "all empty". Then the Tatars withdrew to Pyongyang, and under the order of Huang Taiji, he threatened that "the west of the Datong River cannot be returned." He forced North Korea to sign the Pyongyang oath, opening the market in Zhongjiang, Huining, and returning the Tartars fled and chasing the additional tribute.

This invasion was called "Dingmao Rush" or "Dingmao Rush" in Korean history. For the scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty, Dingmao Rush was really a shameful thing, and even Wen Tiren was ashamed to mention it. The eldest brother was unable to protect his younger brother, and he watched him be bullied by outsiders for nothing, but he could not get justice. But this younger brother still missed the eldest brother, with tears in his eyes and pitiful eyes, which really made the eldest brother feel ashamed.

After the Dingmao chaos, the relationship between the Tartars and North Korea was not harmonious. As soon as the Tartars retreated, North Korea immediately "reported the story of being soldiered" to the Ming Dynasty. In his reply to the imperial edict, Emperor Chongzhen expressed his understanding of the North Korea's forced peace with the Tartars, and at the same time commended North Korea's "righteousness of the monarch and ministers, the bright sun star". Chongzhen was of course very uncomfortable with North Korea being bullied by the Tartars. However, he did not have the ability to help North Korea. The situation of the Ming Dynasty was quite unfamiliar at the time.

In the second year of Chongzhen (1629 AD), Yuan Chonghuan lured Mao Wenlong for "rebelliousness". He also said that he was removing a harm for North Korea and forced North Korea to write a letter to Yuan Chonghuan to express his gratitude. In fact, North Korea is still very puzzled about Mao Wenlong's killing. For the Koreans, Mao Wenlong's army is the greatest protection for North Korea. With the Ming army commanded by Mao Wenlong, North Korea feels safer no matter how much.

During the interactions with the Tartars, North Korea showed disgust and reluctant emotions many times. The border market opened, and was repeatedly delayed by North Korea on the grounds that the border was destroyed and the people were short of food. North Korea also looked for every opportunity to reduce the amount of tribute paid regularly.

Confucius defected from Shandong to the Tartars. Huang Taiji ordered North Korea to help with food and wages. North Korea not only refused, but also helped the Ming Dynasty pursue the killing. Huang Taiji once took a peaceful offensive against the Ming Dynasty and asked North Korea to mediate from it. North Korea saw that the Tartars' intention to seek peace was dishonest and refused. The relationship between the two sides became increasingly rigid and there were signs of a war.

"If the Tartars free up their hands, they will definitely continue to launch troops against North Korea." Gao Hongtu said worriedly.

"That's right. So, I have to go to North Korea now." Zhang Zhun nodded.

If the emergence of the Hu Ben Army had not interfered with the historical process, in real history, in the ninth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (the first year of Chongde in the Qing Dynasty, 1636 AD), the Tartars would have launched a large-scale attack on North Korea. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was already in a difficult position and naturally could not provide any new support. They could only watch North Korea being surrendered by the Tartars helplessly.

In the end, North Korea was forced to surrender to the Tartars. However, North Korea still rejected the clause of "Yongxuan Ming Kingdom". The Chongzhen reign was used until the 20th century, and so that there was a miracle that recorded the 286th year of Chongzhen. Even until 1986, when North Korea came to China to worship Confucius, the Chongzhen reign was still used, which was the 359th year of Chongzhen.

Gao Hongtu said slowly: "Yulin, if you intervene in the Korean battlefield, you must be prepared for long-term combat. Once you enter North Korea, the Tartars will inevitably strengthen their attacks and controls against North Korea. The Koreans will definitely not be able to withstand the Tartars. Their army has been defeated by the Tartars many times. Some of the troops were controlled by the Tartars and became servants of the Tartars. In the end, they had to rely on the Tiger Army and the Tartars to fight. North Korea is both land from Shenyang, and the Tartars' troops are mobilized quickly, while the Tiger Army has to cross the sea. The two are incomparable."

Zhang Zhun said deeply: "Teacher, do you think I should interfere?"

Gao Hongtu sighed helplessly, and finally nodded and said, "It should."

After all, he was also a scholar-official in the Ming Dynasty. In front of foreigners, he must maintain the dignity of the Ming Dynasty. If his younger brother was bullied, of course he had to stand up for him. Otherwise, how could he show the majesty of a country above the Celestial Kingdom? Chongzhen did not have the ability to stand up, so he would let Zhang Zhun come. North Korea did cram in an emergency this time and actually found Zhang Zhun. If Zhang Zhun didn't take action, I'm afraid that all the people in North Korea would be disappointed.

In fact, not only Gao Hongtu agreed, but even Zhang Shenyan and others agreed to interfere in the political affairs of North Korea after learning the news. For these scholars and officials, how could the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom watch their younger brothers be bullied? In the past, they had no ability to intervene, and had no choice but to turn a blind eye. In the case of ability, they must intervene. From a strategic perspective, North Korea cannot be completely turned to the Tartars.

"Teacher, can you help me find some people familiar with the situation in North Korea within five days? It is best to have been on a mission to North Korea before, or have been to North Korea in other identities." Zhang Zhun said expectantly.

"Five days? Let's try it. By the way, when Feng Menglong was young, he went to North Korea. You can take him away this time. If possible, you can send him to the front station and contact the North Koreans first." Gao Hongtu's reaction was also very fast.

"Let him arrive at Weihaiwei Military Port quickly, and I will arrange for him to set off by boat immediately. You arrange for relevant personnel to gather in Weihaiwei Military Port." Zhang Zhun said decisively.

"Okay! I'll go with you too!" Gao Hongtu nodded and took over the matter.

"That's great!" Zhang Zhun was overjoyed.

With Gao Hongtu following him to North Korea in person, there was no problem with the diplomatic agreement. He was only responsible for military affairs. Zhang Zhun had a headache about dealing with people, especially when he was not nutritious, and he was eating and drinking. However, in diplomacy, these affairs were essential. Gao Hongtu took the initiative to take these affairs over, which was also to let Zhang Zhun take action and be responsible for military affairs. After all, the problems between the Ming Dynasty, North Korea and the Tartars had to be resolved by military means in the end.

With the help of Gao Hongtu, two days later, Zhang Zhun received more information about North Korea. Simply put, because of the Tartars and the Ming Dynasty, there are three factions in North Korea. King Li Jue himself was hesitant. He was looking towards the Ming Dynasty, but he was worried that he could not bear the pressure from the Tartars. After all, the Ming Dynasty was defeated by the Tartars and was defeated. The majesty of the Celestial Kingdom was almost gone.

The surrendered faction was headed by Cui Mingji, and this person had a very close relationship with the Tartars. The war-holding faction was headed by Hong Yihan, Wu Daji and Yin Ji, and they were the most loyal to the Ming Dynasty. The neutral faction was headed by Jin Zidian, who was Li Jue's confidant, and his attitude was Li Jue's attitude. These people were all the backbone of North Korea, that is, the backbone of two classes. The two classes in North Korea were equivalent to the nobles and scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and were the ruling class.

Because time was tight, after grasping the basic situation of North Korea, Zhang Zhun quickly issued an order to dispatch troops and generals to prepare for his mission to North Korea.

The first thing to be mobilized is Xu Qingluan's pigeon system. With the pigeons, the speed of information transmission of the Hu Ben Army greatly accelerated, allowing Zhang Zhun to taste the sweetness in a real way. It is not realistic to rely on ships to deliver letters. Only pigeons can travel across the ocean. Therefore, Xu Qingluan and her confidant female disciples must follow them to North Korea.

Ji Yuqing also wants to go. Her main purpose is to help Zhang Jun greet North Korean guests. Zhang Jun estimated that this time he went to North Korea, he needed to represent Ming Kingdom to attend some unavoidable occasions. For example, a banquet held by the King of North Korea. Well, if the King of North Korea really welcomes Zhang Jun, this banquet is indispensable. The so-called courtesy exchanges. Since the North Koreans welcome Zhang Jun, Zhang Jun also has to hold a banquet to invite him back. This is diplomatic etiquette. On such occasions, Ji Yuqing, who is good at dancing, naturally becomes Zhang Jun's best assistant.

The second order issued by Zhang Zhun was of course to mobilize the Marine Corps. Every time a small-scale armed conflict occurred, the first thing Zhang Zhun thought of was the Marine Corps. There was no way, this was a professional habit brought by his previous life. Only the Marine Corps could adapt to this complex and changeable combat mission. Fighting in North Korea is considered to be a fight abroad, so the Marine Corps should start.

According to Zhang Zhun's prediction, the possibility of direct conflict between the Hu Ben Army and the Tartars on the land of the Ming Dynasty was not very high. The Koreans should not allow such a situation to happen. Because the Tartars mobilized troops in Nanluo, there were only about five Niulu, and they were stationed in Tieshan in the north, which was a distance from Seoul. What the Hu Ben Army had to face was mainly the surrender faction in the country.

Needless to say, the Tartars were putting pressure on the surrender faction in North Korea to force North Korea to block Shen Lingfei's smooth departure. After Zhang Zhun came to North Korea, he would definitely be bound to deal with the surrender faction in North Korea. Due to the pressure from the Tartars, the surrender faction in North Korea may be more arrogant. On some special occasions, it is not impossible for the surrender faction to use force on a small scale to test Zhang Zhun. In short, the situation in North Korea is complex and changeable, and you must have a strong army in your hands to ensure your personal safety.

In fact, if we really want to fight, the 300-man Marine Corps is enough to deal with these surrendered factions. Intelligence shows that the North Korean army may only have about 50,000, of which the elite "Hualangdao" army will not exceed 20,000. The surrendered faction cannot control all the troops, and Hualangdao cannot dispatch the entire army unless the king Li Ni has become a puppet.

After thinking about it, Zhang Zhun finally drew a cooperative force from the Pinzi Camp stationed in Fushan and headed to North Korea together. He wanted to show the power of the Tiger Ben Army and the majesty of the Celestial Kingdom. The number of people was too small to achieve good results. When the anti-Japanese aid to Korea, the vanguard of the Ming army only came to the vanguard, which made North Korea feel very uneasy, thinking that the three thousand people were too few. Later, the battle began, and the three thousand Ming troops were like wolves and tigers, killing the Japanese army so that the North Koreans slowly felt relieved.

In addition to personnel, there are also necessary supplies. Among them, weapons and equipment are essential. The best way to give North Koreans to help them is of course to sell them some appropriate weapons. For example, Thunder guns, three-eyed guns, various armors, etc. Zhang Zhun sold all kinds of weapons to the Winter Storm, turned around in the Winter Storm's hands, and finally returned to Zhang Zhun's hands. In addition, in the subsequent battles, the Hu Ben Army successively seized a lot of weapons. If the North Koreans needed it, they would sell them cheaply. These weapons would be completely no problem to arm the 100,000 Korean troops.

The sword-tooth ship itself is a professional combat ship and cannot transport personnel and materials. Therefore, the Marine Corps, Pinzi Battalion, and other logistics supplies all need to be transported together with armed merchant ships. In order to prevent accidents, ten huge armed merchant ships are very necessary. The transportation tasks in Cangzhou are also very heavy, and the allocation of merchant ships may be difficult. These are left to the Navy to adjust internally.

According to Zhang Zhun's order, after Zhang Zhun left, Yang Zhiyuan was commanded by the Hu Ben Army camp in Hejian Prefecture. Hao Linyong was commanded by the Hu Ben Army near Dengzhou City. The Grand Governor's Office in Fushan City will establish a pigeon passage between him and Seoul, North Korea. If there is an emergency, Zhang Zhun can still be found.

The Dabai Fleet, the Marine Corps, Pinzi Battalion, and various materials will all converge at the Weihai Guard Port. After everything is ready, Zhang Zhun will finally lead a huge fleet to set off from the Weihai Guard Port. The most important thing about Zhang Zhun's trip to North Korea this time is to go quickly and return quickly.

It is winter now, and the wind direction is mainly northwest wind. It takes two days to get from Weihaiwei Army Port to Jianghua Island. The return journey takes about four days. One come and one goes, which is six days. The Tartars may go south at any time, and Zhang Zhun cannot stay in North Korea for a long time. To be precise, he must solve all problems in half a month and then come back to deal with the Tartars.

The war machines of the Hu Ben Army were running at high speed. The manpower, material resources and financial resources needed by Zhang Zhun were soon concentrated at Weihai Guard Port. Xu Qingluan, Ji Yuqing, Gao Hongtu, Mo Yu and others all came to Zhang Zhun's side. The Marine Corps and the soldiers of the Pinzi Battalion were all in place. According to Zhang Zhun's arrangement, Li Jicheng commanded the Dabai Fleet and Zhang Haibin commanded the logistics transport fleet. The entire fleet was always a 22 large ship, directly commanded by Zhang Zhun.
Chapter completed!
